How much should I budget for internal security grilles in Dorchester?
Most internal security grilles in Dorchester fall within £595 to £1,995 plus VAT (£714 to £2,394 inc VAT) per opening for supply and fitting. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey, before anything is ordered.
Internal security grilles divide a building into zones. Fitted across corridors, stockroom doors, cash offices and server rooms, they keep valuable areas locked off from the rest of the building after hours, or from visitors and staff who do not need access during the day.
What you can specify
- Mesh infill to stop items being passed through
- Galvanised or powder-coated finishes
- Retractable, hinged and bi-fold grille doors
- See-through barriers that keep CCTV coverage
- Fixings into block, brick, stud or steel
- Wide openings across corridors and aisles

What to think about first
Access control
Hinged grille doors can take electric locks or readers, wired by a suitable contractor.
Partition strength
A grille is only as strong as what it is fixed to; stud walls may need reinforcement.
Consents and safety: England
Insurer requirements
Insurers set their own conditions for business premises, stock and cash. If your policy names a type or rating of grille, get the wording in writing before ordering; the insurer decides whether a product meets it.
Listed buildings and conservation areas
Listed buildings need listed building consent for works that affect their character, which can include internal grilles and their fixings. In conservation areas, councils look closely at anything fitted to the outside. We recommend speaking to the council's conservation officer before ordering.

Internal security grilles in Dorchester: questions
Do you cover Weymouth as well as Dorchester?
Yes. As well as Dorchester, we can arrange surveys in nearby Weymouth, Bridport and Yeovil, and elsewhere in Dorset.
Can an internal grille go across a corridor?
Yes, but if the corridor is an escape route the grille must be open whenever people are in the building.
Can you add mesh to stop things being passed through?
Yes. Mesh infill is common on stockroom and dispensary grilles.
Can internal grilles be fixed to stud walls?
Yes, with reinforcement such as a steel subframe or timber noggins, because a grille is only as strong as its fixings.
